ROUND 1: What movie character, from any film or series, would definitely be able to kill John Wick?

ROUND 2: We got a new trailer for “Maleficent 2” this week. What Disney villain deserves their own live-action spin-off?

ROUND 3: What’s the best “nostalgia" movie from the ‘80s or ‘90s that still hasn’t been remade yet?

TIE BREAKER: Besides Superman, what movie superhero would be the most scary if they suddenly turned evil?

SPEED ROUND 1: Chris Rock is rebooting Saw, what comedian should be brought in to revive what horror franchise?

SPEED ROUND 2: Ghostbusters: The Video Game is getting a remastered release, what classic movie comedy would inspire the best video game?

SPEED ROUND 3: Who would really win in a battle between Batman and The Shredder?

SPEED ROUND 4: Kevin Feige has revealed that the real Mandarin is still out there. Who should play him?

This was a fun one.

1. Deadshot from Suicide Squad
2. Ursula from Little Mermaid could be dope.
3. The Breakfast Club
4. The Scarlet Witch. Her first scene in Age of Ultron where she gets in the head of the Avengers is the perfect blueprint for it.
5. Jim Carrey and Pumpkinhead because why not.
6. Blazing Saddles. A comedic style of Red Dead Redemption
7. Gotta go with Batman. It's all in the preparation
8. Ken Watanabe would be fantastic.

"Nobody would get fatigued before the creative forces at Marvel Studios who do this 24 hours a day, 7 days a week," he revealed during his recent Reddit AMA. "So we believe that if we're still taking risks and making unique choices to keep ourselves excited, the audience will feel the same way."

Now that Matt Reeves has found his Bruce Wayne in Robert Pattinson, done deal or not, the writer-director has turned his attention to The Batman‘s rogues gallery of villains, which will include the Penguin and Catwoman, according to the Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision newsletter.The Penguin and Catwoman were previously featured in Tim Burton‘s Batman Returns, where they were played by Danny DeVito and Michelle Pfeiffer, respectively. Two decades later, Anne Hathaway played Catwoman in Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight Rises, although the character was never referred to as “Catwoman.” Instead, she was called either “The Cat” or her real name, Selina Kyle.As for the Penguin, otherwise known as Oswald Cobblepot, the character was played by Burgess Meredith in the original ABC television series as well as the 1966 spinoff film, while Robin Lord Taylor played embodied the character on Fox’s Gotham.

Reeves won’t begin casting Batman’s rogues gallery until Pattinson closes his deal, which is believed to be imminent. This despite the fact that, to the best of my knowledge, the Twilight star hasn’t even read the script yet, because it still isn’t quite finished. But surely Reeves shared his plans with Pattinson when the two met, and it’s safe to assume he already has actors in mind to play the villains. The real question is whether Reeves will gender-flip the Penguin or perhaps another antagonist, such as the Riddler, who has also been rumored to make an appearance — though that remains unconfirmed. After all, Reeves will have to keep some surprises up his sleeve and save something special for the sequel, just like Nolan did by waiting until the second film in his Bat trilogy to introduce the Joker and Two-Face.Josh Gadhasn’t been shy on social media about lobbying to play the Penguin, and I think he’d make an excellent choice, though I could say the same about Jonah Hill and even Melissa McCarthy. All three of them would make a great comic book villain. Regarding Catwoman, it’s anyone’s guess, but can you imagine what someone like Saoirse Ronan could do with that role? She earned three Oscar nominations before her 25th birthday, and would be a very intriguing choice, though she has largely avoided big-budget franchise films. Then again, so has Pattinson.Mackenzie Davis could also be interesting, and she has been on the verge of a comic book movie for some time, having most recently passed on a role in Marvel’s Black Widow that eventually went to Florence Pugh. Before that, the Terminator: Dark Fate star was eyed for Domino in Deadpool 2 as well as a role in Drew Goddard‘s planned Sinister Six movie.Again, I haven’t heard that any of those actors have met with Reeves — unlike Ansel Elgort, the star of WB’s The Goldfinch and Steven Spielberg’s upcoming West Side Story, who met with the director to discuss the title role — they just come to mind as strong possibilities, based on interest they’ve received for past studio tentpoles.Warner Bros. will release The Batman on June 25, 2021. Stay tuned for more casting news, because with production starting this fall, it’s about to get crazy ’round these parts.

Following the publishing of their first original comic series, Netflix has given a series order to the franchise.The Magic Order will be their first in-house adaptation as a entertainment company.[/COLOR]

Fans always knew there were big things in store for Millarworld as soon as Netflix bought the label. One of the most surprising moves since has been Netflix's status as a comic book publisher. The Magic Order, their first comic book series, is now officially getting a television order.

In addition to this exciting news, a creative team has also been set in stone for the pilot. Netlix has announced that Aquaman's James Wan will be directing and executive producting the series' first episode, while Chaos Walking's Lindsay Beer will be serving as showrunner for the whole season. This will be Wan's first directing credit since taking on the 2018 DC Comics adaptation.

Captain America: Civil War stars Daniel Brühl and Emily Van Camp are in talks to join Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan in Marvel’s Falcon and the Winter Soldierseries, Collider has confirmed. Meanwhile, veteran TV helmer Kari Skogland (The Handmaid’s Tale) is set to direct the six-episode series, which is expected to hit Disney+ in August 2020.Malcolm Spellman (Empire) has been busy writing the script, and while plot details remain thin, Mackie is expected to appear as Captain America after picking up Chris Evans‘ shield at the end of Avengers: Endgame. Beyond that, there’s no word on what the adventures of Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes will entail.Van Camp’s Sharon Carter, aka Agent 13, was first introduced in Captain America: Winter Soldier, and she went on to reprise her role in Civil War, which marked the first appearance of Brühl’s villainous Baron Zemo. It was Zemo who drove a wedge between Captain America and Iron Man.

More importantly, she directed episodes of the Marvel’s Netflix series The Punisher.
